You post some great links, thanks.
My sister lived in a commune up in Northern Vermont back in the Seventies, and Linda Kasabian (Manson Girl who turned state’s witness) lived up there with them.
No electricity or running water. They were apparently squatting on a huge tract of land on a river, and the owner of the land didn’t really care.
Wow, interesting story. Lucky she didn’t run into any serious trouble.
